The commercial rate is for users that buy it at the high voltage level, probably 25kV and higher, and provide their own step down transformers. In...
Similar behavior is basically true of all turbocharged diesels. I just took a look at the C7 non-ACERT C-rating (fairly typical yacht engine,...
No offense, but I think I'm a little more studied on the topic than you.
CPP is typically used to maintain a constant engine RPM for generators, hydraulic pumps, refridgeration plants, or to improve maneuverability, or...
Has anybody considered a boost converter for getting a full charge on the house batteries from the starting battery and charging system? It's kind...
3.1% - 3.8% Varies based on temperature and location. (Typically higher at the equator and poles, lower at the mid latitudes.
Here's some enormous change in fuel consumption for a diesel engine between part and full loads....
6 cents for residential here in British Columbia, 3 cents for commercial users. The cost for generating power on-board is probably much higher.
Magnesium is not a pricey metal. It's cheaper than nickel, and probably almost as cheap as zinc.
As a Canadian I must say thanks, eh.
I agree. He's claiming 8.8HP at the prop!
Things like plumbing (water-makers, fresh water plumbing, toilets), cabinetry, upholstery. Any thoughts?
I'm an engineering physics/electrical engineering student that would one day like to design and build my own boat. (Probably like 10-15 years down...
H+ + Cl- <----> HCl(aq) Note the double ended arrow, this is a chemical equilibrium. The HCl could then come out of solution. It is a very toxic...
You may get some hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas, but very little since this gas is highly soluble in water. If the sea water gets into the battery...
Did you have any oscillation trouble with your electronic throttle control? (i.e. when the throttle position command was held constant, did the...
I'm afraid that I'm right and you're wrong. If you looked at similar data for a gasoline engine you would see that the specific fuel consumption...
Now find a similar plot from a gasoline engine and see if you can spot the difference.
Some newer model cars have five phase alternators.
The point is that by minimizing the intake manifold vacuum you are reducing the intake pumping loss. (Intake pumping loss) = (RPM)*(engine...
